• MO007-014001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a shelf of an E-facing overlooking Glaslough Lake, which is c. 70m to the E. The medieval parish church of Donagh (MO007-007001-) was derelict by 1622 (Leslie 1929, 170-2) but by 1670 the parish centre for Protestant worship had been moved to Glaslough, c. 2km to the ENE where the church of St Salvator (Saviour) was built. This was rebuilt in 1763, and the four bay nave with bluntly pointed windows which survives today is from this building. A chancel in a gothic style was added in 1874 over the Leslie vault (Shirley 1879, 296). The church is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 40m NNE-SSW) that was enclosed with a wall in 1742. All the headstones have been recorded (McMahon and Cowan 1978), including that of John Connell dated 1671 outside the W wall of the church tower. A datestone with 1670 carved in false relief is placed high on the S wall of the nave accompanied by the statement ‘And Rebu / ilt in 1763’ on a separate stone produced in the same style. Only the tower (ext. dims 6.25m N-S; c. 6.25m E-W) built with small stones in contrast to the quarried stone of the nave dates from the seventeenth century. The tower, supported by buttresses, is at the W end of the church and has five stages, but the topmost is probably not original. The pointed doorway at the ground floor on the S is also probably not original. There is a large round-headed window, now filled with three-light wooden tracery on the W wall of the first floor, and there are three simple lights at the second floor. The third stage with a large round-headed opening on each wall is the original belfry stage. The graveslabs of Rev. John Leslie, Bishop of Clogher, dated 1693, and of Mathew Ancktill dated 1688, are preserved in the church tower (Shirley 1879, 143, 297; King 1895; Mahony 1907). Outside the doorway of the church is a small cylindrical octagonal font (dims 0.45m x 0.45m; H 0.43m) with a circular, flat-bottomed basin (int. diam. 0.3m; D 0.24m) that has a drain-hole in a side-wall. Externally, It bears the legend in raised lettering: I know that my Redeemer liveth. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 9 November 2016

• MO007-016 Bastioned fort
  Description

  After a rebellion the land of Brian Óg Mac Mahon, amounting to three Ballybetaghs or villages, was forfeited, and in 1609 it was granted to Sir Thomas Ridgeway as the manor of Upper Trough. This became the core of the Glaslough estate, consisting of almost all of Donagh parish, which was owned by the Countess of Carlisle in 1640, probably as mortgage security (Shirley 1879, 135). In 1661 John Leslie, who had been successively bishop of the Scottish Isles and Raphoe, was appointed Bishop of Clogher, and he had acquired Glaslough by 1665 (ibid. 140-5). The core of the estate has remained in the Leslie family down to the present. Ridgeway was not remiss in developing his property. In 1611 it was reported by Lord Carew, a special Commissioner reporting on the Plantation of Ulster, that Sir Thomas had built a bastioned fort at Glaslough, within which was ‘a little English house’ (Hunter 1975, 81). Although Ridgeway’s plans might have been ambitious, it is a moot point as to how much was actually completed in 1611 rather than planned. The location was probably on the E-W ridge of Glaslough, but perhaps no more than the English house had been constructed. In 1720 it is recorded in a letter that ‘the brick house has fallen down’ and this may have been Ridgeway’s ‘English house’. It was replaced by a seven bay three storey and attic house in a Queen Anne style with the double bays at either end stepped slightly forward (Shirley 1879, 146). This is the house that is described as Castle Leslie on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was replaced by the present house, located just to the NE, in 1878, for which see this web-page accessed on 01/09/2017, but there is no evidence that the fort was ever built: http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=MO&regno=41301017 The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).

• MO007-018 House - 17th century
  Description

  After a rebellion the land of Brian Óg Mac Mahon, amounting to three Ballybetaghs or villages, was forfeited, and in 1609 it was granted to Sir Thomas Ridgeway as the manor of Upper Trough. This became the core of the Glaslough estate, consisting of almost all of Donagh parish, which was owned by the Countess of Carlisle in 1640, probably as mortgage security (Shirley 1879, 135). In 1661 John Leslie, who had been successively bishop of the Scottish Isles and Raphoe, was appointed to Clogher, and he had acquired Glaslough by 1665 (ibid. 140-5). The core of the estate has remained in the Leslie family down to the present. Ridgeway was not remiss in developing his property. In 1611 it was reported by Lord Carew, a special Commissioner reporting on the Plantation of Ulster, that 'Sr. Thomas Ridgway knight, hath erected a fforte or bawne at Lurgan-glaslough in the said countie, w'th a stone walle rounde aboute it, each curtine 160 foote longe, the whole circuet of the fforte 752 foote w'th a rampier or foote pace of earth round aboute w'th 4 bulworks and lups of a foote in length, from the topp of the walle downeward, 5 feete distance one from th'other and a ditch, and trench 18 foote broade and 10 foote deepe, w'thin wh'ch is already buylte a little English house, and means to buyld a castle. This was done upon like consideration as that of Sr. Edward Blanye (i.e. at the King’s charge). There is buylte 12 houses or tenem’ts of stone, some few already a storie high, some lesser, and 8 ordinarye tenem’ts thorowlie finished, besyds the foundation of 8 stone houses more, w’ch are nowe to be removed and drawne into the fforte towerds the buyldinge of the castle. He hathe also buylte a corn myll there' (Hunter 1975, 81) Ridgeway was building a fort (dims c. 48m x c. 48m) with four corner bastions, a rampart behind the wall and a fosse (Wth c. 5m; D c. 3m) in front of it. The walls had gun-loops (H 0.3m) placed 1.5m apart, and a small house was within the fort. A settlement was also developing around the fort, but as Glaslough was outside the official Plantation and Ridgeway had accompanied Carew while the Commissioner was in Ireland it is a moot point as to how much was actually completed in 1611 rather than planned. The location was probably on the E-W ridge of Glaslough, but perhaps no more than the English house had been constructed. In 1720 it is recorded in a letter that ‘the brick house has fallen down’ and this may have been Ridgeway’s ‘little English house’.
